The Boomerang contradicts the item
which recently appeared in this paper to
the effect that the circus men precipitated
a series of bloody fights upon the occasion
of the advent of old John Robinson's
show in that village. Adam Schilling a
hill conductor, and a brakeman of his
crew who strikes a 1000 pound blow state
that the item in question was perfectly
correct, and that blood ran knee deep on

Viewing Ranch Life.

Bishop Talbot spent yesterday at Dater
Bros. ranch. On the trip there he was
accompanied by Mr.. and Mrs. Phil Dater,
Mr.. and Mrs. 7. B. Adams and Rev. DIR.
Rafter. The party passed a very pleas
ant day, returning to the city in the even
ing. During his short stay in the city the
bishop has had the opportunity to see
many of the interesting sights in the
vicinity OF the city. He expresses him
self as thoroughly pleased, and isespecial-
ly delighted with thevviews of ranch life
which he has secured. What he saw at
Posts and Dater's ranches destroyed his
p~reconceived notions on the subject. He
had thought that all ranch houses were of
the most primitive construction and had
few of the conveniences of modern life.
He discovered in these two instances that
not only the necessaries, but TO an extent
the luxuries of civilization are provided.
Bishop Talbot leaves on this evenings
train for Laramie.

STEALS A
Young VIM. Strong Burglarizes a Room
in the West End.

Another member of the Strong family
is in trouble. 1t will be remembered that
w. S. Strong was some time since con-
fined in the county Jail on the dual charge
of beating his wife and attempting suicide
with a razor.
Young. VIM. Strong, son of W. S.
Strong, was yesterday arrested for the
theft of a fine gold watch from Madame
Jessie Strong, proprictress of a West
End establishment. 1t appears that the
hoodlum frequently visited the house and
often roamed about the rooms of the place
at will. One n of these excursions at
a late hour Tuesday night, he entered the
bodouir of the ruling spirit of the prem
ises, and as that individual was observed
sleeping sweetly on a sofa, the boy secured
the watch and left.
Upon being charged with the crime
yesterday, the young thief Indignantly
denied it, and offered to prove hat he
was elsewhere at the time of the disap-
pearance of the time-piece. Marshal
Schnitger and Miss Strong told the boy
that he had been seen with the watch il
his possession, and unless he produced it
at once he would be sent to Jail. The
culprit then weakened and acknowledged
that he had stolen the property and con-
cealed it in his mothers house. The
watch was found in the place indicated
by the boy, and he was locked in the
county jail with his father.

expert, who is recognized as a leading
authority on the subject of coal mines and
mining, visited the Twin creek coal beds
in Uinta county a few days since in com.
pany with a party of New York capitalists
and secured a number of claims. The
professor, whose word is not to be dis.
puted in such matters, declares that the
largest deposit OF coal in the known world
is in the Twin creek district. The party

DIDN'T UNDERSTAND 1T.
Experience of a Laramie Man with a
Thermometer.

A Laramie man sat in the crowded
waiting-room at the depot last evening
surrounded by a large pile of goods he
had purchased in the city. When seen
by a reporter he was closely examining a
cheap Thermometer which was among his
other belongings,

been made this season in the Sheep
Mountain District, on Bernard Sum-
NIT, twelve miles southeast of Sheep
Mountain, and in Sea Foam District
fifteen miles west of Sheep Mountain

Daley says the day is not far distant
when Sheep Mountain and adjoining
districts will rank with the richest
producers in the Territory. The ore
is there in abundance, and it will moi
be long until reduction works will b.

TIE "boys" had little amusement
with loud mouthed eastern drummer
the other day. By some means they
got him into bet of $40, and after
both sides had put up the money, the
stake holder slipped the money to
Brown and went out and hid. Then
the suckers" attention was called to
the missing stakeholder, and the
scene which followed was simply rich.
He fairly danced with rage and
excitement, and took an awful
oath that he would run down the
black thief If it took him all fall
OF course nobody knew the thief
so the excited drummer hired Con.
stable Brown to run him down. To
ward evening Brown came in with
the money, and gavea graphic account
of the chase and capture. The nov
delighted drummer spent about hal
OF 1t on drinks for the boys, fully con
vinced that he was just $40 ahead

ALBERT Z1pF and the WoRLD's
manipulation of scissors and pencil
went out last Friday across the dl-
wide east of town, for few days
recreation and venison. We got
plenty of the former. We found ven
ison rather scarce, and what there
was Of it was too lively on foot, and
too shrewd to face us on open ground.
Albert was somewhat astonished, on
the third day out, just as he emerged
from dense thicket, to see big
cougar in close proximity, waiting to
pounce upon him. Albert was near
enough to kick Mr.. Cougar on the
hind quarters, but he didn't. The
cougar, when he heard Albert plow-
ing through the Jungle, no doubt
thought he was deer, and was wait
ing for his game, but as soon as he
saw it was a case of mistaken identi-
ty, flew for the brush, and Albert, not
having time to look through his sights,
drew his gun and fred just as the
animal was disappearing in the brush
and by acting hastily on the old adage
that discretion is the better part ol
valor, Mr.. Cougar swindled Albert
out of IS bounty for his scalp
These animals are becoming alto
gether too plentiful in that section

This is not enough. They are sly

business to hunt them for so small
reward. If the bounty was 81
hunters could afford to make couga
hunting speciality, and their numbe

REFERRING to Bear Lake Valley the
Southern Idaho Independent says;
1t is really wonderful to note the
change of climate that has taken place
in this valley during the last few years.
Only short time ago potatoes were
a doubtful crop; almost invariably,
for years, the vines were cut down in
July by frost, and the farmers con-
sidered themselves extremely fortu-
nate when they could harvest their
wheat without it getting frostbitten.
Some of our best horticulturlsts, after
trying year after year to raise COM
mon vegetables, finally gave up in
despair, while few had sufficient faith
to believe that apples would grow in
Bear Lake. But what change has
taken place. Corn, caulifc ever, beans
and cucumbers are plentiful; straw
berries, raspberries, and especiali,
currants and gooseberries, have beer
and are SO abundant that marke
can scarcely be found for them, while
those who have persevered in plant
ing fruit trees are being rewarded
with good crops of applss, plums
pears and cherries, and the unbeliey
ing ones are now preparing to plan
out orchards in the spring. Th
blessings of the Almighty are beini
abundantly poured out upon us.
